She'd smile, and birds would feel that they no longer
had to sing, or it may be I failed
to hear their song.
Within a crowd, I'd hope her glance might be
for me, but I knew that she was shy, and wished
to be alone.
I'd pay to sit behind her, blind to
what was on the screen, and watch the image flicker
upon her hair.
I'd glow when her diminished voice would clear
my muddled thoughts, like lightning flashing in
a gloomy sky.
The nothing in my soul with her aloof
was changed to foolish fullness when she came
to be with me.
With shyness gone and hair caressed with gray
her smile still makes the birds forget to sing
and me to hear their song.

I continue to be impressed by the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter love story. I think because I, too have a wonderful and amazing husband who thinks I hung the moon for him. We are 15 years into this thing and going stronger than ever. I can only hope we make it to 77! It's a nice feeling and I hope everyone finds someone to love them.
Here is a poem Jimmy wrote for Rosalynn in 1995, titled "Rosalynn"
